Dr. Abolghasem Raissadat
March 5, 1940 - August 16, 2021
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Dr. Abolghasem Raissadat. He was a loving husband to his wife Jaleh Assa, a devoted father to his children Ali, Haleh, Sepideh and their spouses Aita, Atila, Aydin and a caring grandfather to Deyar, Farbod, Alma. An exceptional human being, an outstanding clinician, a creative mind, a pivot of friendship, a selfless humanitarian, a mindful educator and a curious lifelong learner is how his friends, colleagues, and students describe him. Practicing medicine was not only a profession to him, it was a way of life, a reason for living. Retirement was not a concept he believed in. He made it his responsibility to advance science by documenting what he had learned as an Infectious Disease Specialist over his 50+ years of practice and had experienced as a human being in his fruitful 81 years of life. As a trusted physician, he trained multiple generations of immunologists and infectious disease researchers, medical students, and fellows. He adhered to the highest medical ethics, advocated for health care as a human right rather than a privilege, and believed in speaking the truth at any cost.
